Quick Answer: TiviMate includes a Favorites feature that lets you keep frequently watched channels in a separate, faster-to-access list. Open your channel list, highlight a channel, and use the channel actions to add it to Favorites.
TiviMate is designed for large-screen TV use and supports favorite channels as part of its playlist and navigation features. The official Google Play listing confirms Favorites, search, multiple playlists, EPG, catch-up, recording and multiview as supported features.
How to Add a Channel to Favorites#
- Open your playlist and channel list.
- Highlight the channel you watch most often.
- Open the channel actions menu with your remote.
- Select the option to add the channel to Favorites.
- Open the Favorites group to confirm it appears.
The exact button used to open the actions menu can vary with your remote and TiviMate version, so focus on the channel action menu rather than a fixed remote shortcut.
Organize Your Favorite Channels#
For a large playlist, keep Favorites focused on channels you actually use. A short Favorites list makes navigation faster than trying to turn the entire playlist into one custom list.
- Keep your most-watched channels near the top.
- Remove duplicates and channels you no longer use.
- Use EPG search when you know the program but not the channel.
- Keep separate playlists when your sources serve different purposes.
Remove Channels from Favorites#
Highlight the channel inside Favorites, open its channel actions, and choose the remove-from-favorites option. The channel itself is not deleted from your playlist; you are only changing the Favorites list.
Favorites Not Saving or Missing#
- Playlist changed: If your provider changed channel IDs or names, TiviMate may treat a channel as a different entry.
- Playlist refreshed: Check whether the channel still exists in the source playlist.
- Wrong group: Confirm that you are viewing the same playlist where you added the favorite.
- App issue: Restart TiviMate and check whether the channel reappears before making larger changes.

Practical Tips for Large Playlists#
Use Favorites together with the built-in search and EPG rather than trying to browse thousands of channels manually. TiviMate's official listing specifically highlights search and favorite channels for faster access.
